4 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr12336
• Pattern: mgl-1 appeared to have a widespread expression pattern. The reporter mgl-1::GFP was extensively expressed in the nerve-ring, in tail neurons and extensively within the pharyngeal nervous system, which included the neurosecretory motorneuron NSML/R, interneurons and motorneurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1167
• Pattern: Neurons in anterior, lateral, lumbar ganglia; pharyngeal motorneurons and interneurons; pharynx.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1170
• Pattern: Neurons in anterior, lateral, lumbar ganglia; pharyngeal motorneurons and interneurons; pharynx; intestine.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2366
• Remark: No detailed description on expression pattern in other life stages. Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
• Pattern: A php::gfp fusion gene was constructed to determine the expression pattern in L3 larva. Protein histidine phosphase was found in 6 pharyngeal sensorimotor neurons. In addition, PHP was exclusively localized in all motor neurons along the ventral nerve cord.
